does current version and upcoming version has option to disable screen saver?-Mahesh Joshi, Bhopal. India

I've added code to the upcoming version that prevents the Windows screen saver from activating if Universe Sandbox is the focused window. But the current version doesn't automatically disable the screen saver.

thanks for considering screen saver disabling option in upcoming version. actually I was explaining something to my son and the screen saver was interupting in between. this will be a nice inclusion. And, from your "Awasome" response I suppose that you dont interact with lot many indians on this forum.

I'll release an unfinished, buggy, undocumented alpha version no later than October 1, 2009.

No! that is not good.

The alpha version will be accessible via a link that I share in the forums. This version will be separately installed and run from the main public release (the version you have installed now). Universe Sandbox won't automatically upgrade until the final release in December.

So in Sandbox 2 will [you] fix the disappearance of a particle. except galaxies. everytime you save and load. [?]

Maybe. I'm not sure if I'm going to have the time necessary to improve the quality of saves by the December deadline. Be assured that this is something I want to fix early next year at the latest and may be part of a full state save feature (which may allow for an undo feature).
